Hearing Loss Prevention

The ability to hear is a gift – a sensory experience that must be valued and protected. The following everyday tips will help reduce your risk of noise-induced hearing loss:

Keeping down the volume—on smartphones, MP3s, music listening systems, televisions, and other audio devices. This is particularly important if you have young children, because their ears are more delicate. If you have dull hearing or ringing in your ears after listening to music or watching television make sure you lower the volume next time.
